A few weeks ago I was contacted by an ex-pat living in Sweden about some yarn I had listed as "sell/trade" on Ravelry. We ended up doing a bit of a swap; I sent her all of my Knit Picks Essential and a big bag of Reese's Pieces, and she sent me th...

Today I found out about a wonderfully wonderful knitting event, the Ravelympics! Basically, it's a free-for-all where knitters/crocheters/spinners/etc. pick crafty events to participate in. You can't start the project(s) until the opening ceremony...

Well, I do, to be honest. But I just crochet instead. Back to the norm of small, easy projects. I think this one turned out a bit better than last time. I have been dreading the seaming of my sweater, especially since for some crazy reason the...

This past week I traveled all over the place. Being Spring Break, I felt it necessary to travel and get out of the misery that is NW Ohio. Seriously, I hate it here. Anyway. While at home in Chicagoland visit my folks I did some vacation shopping ...

Now that I have successfully passed all of my masters comps I can resume craftiness! I decided to make another squid. I can't remember if I mentioned this here or not, but I am working out a swap/trade with Gretchen Funk, one of the co-owners o...

I am still in a fibre-craft embargo, so here are some pictures of old things I've dug up. I started this shrug before I went to Europe this summer, worked on it while in Europe this summer, and then it mysteriously went into ...
